SAVANNAH Guthrie has wasted no time in throwing out Hoda Kotb’s “disgusting” stuff following her departure from Today.
Hoda, 60, bid an emotional farewell to her friends and the morning show on January 10 after 26 years with NBC.
But Savannah has now revealed how she and new co-host Craig Melvin made a grim discovery once she was out of the building.
In a hilarious interview, Hoda’s friend listed off all the gross things she left behind on the set – including “belly button lint”.
Savannah, 53, told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, “We gave her this beautiful goodbye and then we go in and sit on the set and there’s these trays.
“You might have one? It might have a mint or whatever it is on it. We realized all of the trays, they were all Hoda’s stuff.
“It was like, one contact and like, expired bean dip. And like, belly button lint and all this stuff.
“I was like, you know, Craig, none of this is mine. Not on her side, not on my side. So we just threw it.
“I sent her a video and was like, ‘Honey, we miss you but here’s what’s happening’.”
The video then aired of Savannah as she held the tray of Hoda’s “stuff” over the trash.
In the funny footage, she told her former co-star, “Oh hey, girl. Guess you didn’t want any of this s***? Don’t mind me.”
Savannah then brutally tipped the contents of the tray into the garbage, adding: “Love you!
Jimmy said he found the video “hilarious”, as Savannah continued, “Look at the tray. It had rusted barnacles on it. I mean, it’s disgusting.”
The video triggered a memory of Jimmy’s, where he once visited Hoda backstage and spotted her purse.
“It was stuffed with papers, like a binder or something. I was like my dad’s wallet with rubber bands round it,” he recalled.
Savannah also revealed a time she and Hoda were on the red carpet together, laughing, “We’re on the red carpet and she brings a zip lock. It will have like, a banana, a tampon. I’m like, girl. It is beyond.”
Jokes aside, Savannah, who appeared on The Tonight Show with Craig, admitted she still speaks to Hoda daily.
“I’m talking to Hoda more than ever,” she said. “I talk to her every single day.
“She actually got up earlier than me on Monday. Hoda wakes up at 3am on Saturday. But she’s doing great. We FaceTime with her but it’s funny, it’s a new era.”
Fond farewell
Hoda announced her departure from Today after six years of co-anchoring the show in September.
Hoda said in a statement, “So I was doing the math, and I realized I have spent 26 years at NBC.
“I just turned 60, and it was such a monumental moment for me when I turned 60 years old… What does that decade mean?… And I realize it was time for me to turn the page at 60, and to try something new.”
Hoda continued, describing a moment when she celebrated her birthday with her children as “what the top of the wave feels like for me”.
She explained, “I thought, it can’t get better. And I decided that this is the right time to move on.”
Hoda noted the adoption of her children and said they “deserve a bigger piece of my time pie” but said the decision to leave was “the hardest thing in the world”.
On her final episode, Today anchors presented Hoda with a surprise video montage of her moments through the years.
New beginnings
After telling fans she is launching a wellness company, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the name of Hoda’s new business and her plans for the brand.
On January 25, 2024, Hoda filed a business license for Joy With Hoda, LLC.
Days later on January 29, Hoda filed a trademark for the name.
The trademark will cover, “Wellness and health-related consulting services; providing information in the fields of health and wellness.
“Educational services, namely, conducting classes, seminars, conferences, workshops, retreats, in the field of women’s health and distribution of training material in connection therewith.
